:< I haven't posted in foreever. Oh nooez. For the record, Rita's mango gelati with vanilla custard is love. I got the cutest bat plush yesterday <3 Other than that I really don't have anything else to say. Hm...

They need more love, yes? I wish the paper category was a bit more expansive, too.

I'm alive. D:

Ah, today I got my photo ID. Very exciting.

Today I also got to try on my costume for the musical.  Yeah... It's this one http://www.amazon.com/Men-Large-Valiant-Costume-included/dp/B000BMUW64/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1203816144&sr=8-3

And wow. I hardly feel like a valiant knight in that. XD Oh well... I'll live. I'll whine a lot, but I'll live. I'll post up some info on previous events at some later point.

Yet another snow day~! >:] This means no shittacular arts festival tonight (I don't know if they'll move it). Hoo, the arts festival business makes me mad; first off, just about everyone in the club wanted it to be Disney/Cartoon Animation themed this year. The idea is that we (in this case it was only the officers this year, I'm one) vote on it. And we did. What does Mrs. Masley do? Change it to Pop Art and Op Art. Who wants to do it? Nearly no one. Unlike last year, I pretty much refused to do stuff during my class (save the arts festival driven assignment ; you can tell when she's desperate, yes?) and I only signed up for the things that I gave the idea for. One being tape sculpture (http://www.tapesculpture.org/gallery.html). Now, there's about four things you need for these; a decent about of time, a willing victim, tape and saran wrap. Previously I'd already asked her if I'd get reimbursed for buying tape... And she said no. So I'm sure you could figure out what happens. I ran out of tape. What does she ask me on Monday?

"You going to finish those tape people?"

"You buy more tape?"

"...No."

I swear, these clubs I'm in are becoming the bane of my existence. I'm somewhat glad my grades aren't good enough for NHS. It's amusing that they aren't, though, because I hold more officer positions than most in NHS and I'm already in two other NHS' (National German Honors Society and Nation Art Honors Society). Last year I was PR for Art Club, Sgt-in-arms for German club... That might be all for sophomore year... This year I'm Sgt-in-arms for Art club, Vice President for Dreamscapes and technically an officer for band. As well as an assistant (ugh) section leader.


Next year... Hm. I'm going to go for Vice for German club again... Perhaps President for artclub (depends on who else is running...) and Vice again for Dreamscapes.

Uugh. Next year. I don't even want to think about next year.

I must go outside. It's so gorgeous. So much snow; it's amazing. We've gotten a snowday, and how I love it. I plan on having some sit down and draw time, but first I must go outside and down into the woods. I haven't been down since my foot plunged into the cold ass mud, but I absolutely must. I think I'm going to go up to the garage and see if I can find my lime green snow (but not too waterproof >>) boots.


So the recycled paper is quite lovely. I think there's going to be a lot more of it on Deviantart, as that's why I bought it; other people using it and me harassing them as to where they got it c:I really haven't sat down and colored on it, but I'll get to that later today. I'm kind of on a mushroom kick. Love 'em, but hate to eat 'em. They're disgusting as fuck.

I also want to do some birthday presents c:  Kalamu (2/18) and Shinerai (3/14). XD Not like I need more stuff to side track what I really need to do, but... Oh well~

Now then, off to the woods! ...Hopefully I'm return a little drier this time.

EDIT

Ohh! I saw a Blue Heron~! At first when I went down I saw some huge ass bird tracks in the semi-frozen creek, I thought they were a turkey or something, but as I walked a ways away, I heard a noise (I don't know if it was the other kids down there or a bird call) and I  looked up to see a heron flying in the distance. c: It was soo cool. I also saw a cardinal and some black and white bird that made an interesting call.

Today and yesterday were rather interesting. Yesterday I spent the later half of the day (6ish-1amish) in Robinson. Let's see... I got...

Blazing Angels for the Wii
Call of Duty 3 for the 360
A hairstyle magazine
Giovanni Civardi's Drawing the Female Nude (I love this man's books, srsly D: )
A recycled paper sketchbook!!! (finally damnit).
A Ratatouille kids book (it's so cute, it's all paper cut outs)
King Kong DVD (I also got The Thin Red Line and A Knight's Tale the other day... No time to watch them, sadly :'c)
A Barne's and Noble Membership (yaay)
King crab at Joe's Crab Shack (nom).

And today... Was fun. 9-2 musical practice. I woke up at quarter to 9 and felt absolutely horrid. My lateness wasn't an issue, though. So that bit was well. Ms. Beley had brownies (nom). Then came Spanish Panic and the Outro, where my dance partner, crunched on my toe with her tap shoe. Oh how it hurt ;^; It hurt for a good while, too. After that... Hm. Got some interesting videos, yeah. I may upload them to youtube later D:

Got my outfit for the band banquet this weekend, I have. c: I'm excited to wear it.


And  oh, I've gotten myself into a doosy, I have. XD I asked one of the musical directors if I could do individual pictures of the cast, and she was all like, "Oh sure! And we can put them next to their photos on opening night!" And I was all -facefloor-. I planned on doing them over a period of time and not exactly getting them done by the show, but I guess I'll have to. I'm going to try mine out first, or at least get a good sketch done to show them what I'm going to do.


Oh, how I love DK books.

I got this http://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Visual-History-Fighting-Man/dp/075663203X/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201836091&sr=8-1
and this
http://www.amazon.com/Human-Robert-Winston/dp/140530233X/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201836207&sr=1 -2

Both great books.

Haven't updated in a while, I haven't. 

Let's see... Thursday I adventured down into the woods. Explored the frozen waters a bit. Ended up falling through ice into... Mud. Most unpleasant.

Hm... Yesterday went out to Robinson... Went to Barnes and Noble... Got  'Drawing Human Anatomy' by Gopvanni Civardi (a lovely book) and 'The First Dog' by Jan Brett.

Today was musical practice from 9-2:30. Rather fun, I'd say. We learned the Outro to Spanish Panic... A salsa. Hooboy. I got paired with a girl who's really good at dancing (she moves around like a monkey... A graceful monkey) and then there's me; not a year of dance or anything to my name. XD I forget steps on a whim and ... Heh. Oh well; I'll get it eventually. It has to be the most awkward, hardest, and fun dance I'm in.

And now... I get to go dress shopping for the band banquet. Eee. I love wearing dresses c: And this is coming from a girl who used to hate anything girly.

Augh. I need to go back to sleep.

Ah, so all of the snow melted... Very disappointing. Still, it was another good day for a trek in the woods. I took another route down, which was rather fun. I think I may've found a place where deer frequent, as there was quite a bit of droppings in that area. I have pictures from yesterday, too... They came out better than I thought.



And on to todays pictures...

Let's see... Tomorrow I have musical from like, 9-2 about... Fun... After that I may get to go to the movies... I do know I'm going down to Pat Catans to get nice acrylic brushes for art. We're suppose to have a nice ham dinner tomorrow complete with scalloped potatoes, baked pineapple.... Very exciting c:

Ack. The song, 'Stuttering' by Ben's Brother is addicting. The one from the Dentyne commercial. 

Look at me, being a journal whore as always. Just got back from musical, I have. It was fun, but yet again... Boring. I did find out that I'm going to be put into another song, however. Shy. That makes... Opening for a Princess, Intro to Spanish Panic... Outro to Spanish Panic, Shy, and Quiet. Fun fun.


Oh, I got stuff in the mail today~! Very exciting. I love to get mail. I got a Zelda phone thingy, a how to draw Legend of Zelda book that my mother just got for the heck of it, and my Van Dyke's Taxidermy catalog. The catalog has so many forms in it~ I love it. I wish I could go hunting... I think I'd really like it. I like to collect... Well... Dead stuff. I've a bird skull I collected from school the other day. Well, more like half of a bird, the majority of it's fleshy bits deteriorated and what not. I just threw the whole thing in a bag of peroxide (yum) and took the head off. XD Oh god... It had a bit of it's eye still on it, or something. Like, the inside of the eye, I'm not sure what it's called. But I was all, "Eewwww," as I removed it.

Dead stuff usually doesn't bother me, unless it's a pet. That really gets to me. I've had a mouse that chewed off his leg, a mouse that had some sort of skin ailment and chewed herself to death. Uugh. Also from that comes my extreme dislike for the number 8. It's not like, obsessive compulsive hate, but, bleh. My mouse (Raisin) that chewed herself died on the 8th of some month that I can't remember... And then my cat got a hold of Oatmeal 10 days later on the 18th... Then this past September my rat Kikiriki had to be put down on, of course, the 18th. So, yes, if anyone's curious, that's why I hate the number eight.


Lol... I love Daft Punk... I realized that the number of times you play songs on your iPod goes on iTunes... And I've listen to One More Time 247 times... Harder, Better, Faster Stronger... 200 times. Digital Love is next with 92, then Technologic with 40. High Fidelity and Revolution 909 are slowly making it up there with 15 and 37 respectively.

I simply love techno. It's my feel good music, yeah? It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside c: God, I'd love to just go to a rave and paarty. Unfortunately, I've no connections and I rarely get invited to parties. :'c My friends all suck and never have parties.

I think I'll shush now and eat my phish food ice cream.

Ahh. Mid-terms are over~ Woo. The math midterm wasn't as bad as I thought... Probably bombed it anyway XD I just love how my creativity levels were zilch during the school day, but when I came home and attempted to study, I got this raging art boner (XD love that expression..). Yesterday I just played with watercolor on printer paper. Nothing special.



Ahh...We ordered pizza, but it won't be here until like, ten to 5. Wtf pizzahut.

Oh, oh, it snowed today, so I went down into the woods. Hoo, was that a trip. I spent most of my time making sure every step was careful so I wouldn't get my self soaking wet, yeah? So I was going to cross a small stream, and there was this tree. I went to lean forward so I could focus my weight on the tree with my hand so I could step across, right? And what happens? The tree goes -creak-, lurchs forward and I've one leg in the steam with water up to my knee about. Damn was it cooold. But I just trudged on for another 30 minutes about. By the time I came back up, my feet were freeezing. I also caught my pinky finger on a thorn. Hasn't hurt a bit though, not even when it happened. My one big toe, however... Is swollen XD I hope it doesn't turn black or some shit. That'd just be my luck. It's been about an hour and a half though, and it's going down.

Ah, only one more day of mid-terms. Lulz. I'm pretty sure I phailed my AP Bio one, but I'm not going to cry over it. It's not worth it =P

I feel very... Blah; why exactly, I don't know. My creativity levels are also pft. I just feel like lying down and sleeping. Why, I haven't a clue... I've been going to bed around 9ish for the past few days, which is ridiculously early for me for the most part. Hopefully they'll spark soon, because I need to figure out what I'm going to do for the thing at the mall. Ahh..

Bleeh. Midterms start tomorrow. Bleck.

Oh, oh, and I get to see Atonement. Very exciting. Nothing much else.. Have worked on a BTS timeline for the past few hours... Feel like movin' on to something else.

Hooboy. I had a weird ass dream.

Oh, but yes, I did watch the Silent Hill movie. It was pretty good. I just wish there were more monsters. I really liked the scene with the patient demon. And of course the Pyramid Head Scene. As well as the nurse scene. I want moar monsters, though :c

Lalala... Musical practice today wasn't anything special. I found out I'm in another dance, though~

I'm on a Silent Hill creature kick. You'll never catch me playing the games (I'm a chicken~), but I loove the monsters. They're so disgustingly twisted and awesome, I love them. My favorites... Hmm... I'd have to say the Nurses... the various dogs... There's something deliciously creepy about the Abstract Daddy. And one of the ones in SH5 is just so bizarre it's awesome.
Though I've a spot for cutesy little creatures, I'll take mangled-almost-human creatures anyday~ I'm currently converting the movie so I can watch it on my iPod and have  nightmares. I love how just about all of the monsters are symbolic, too. It's just so freaking awesome.

 I'd love to be a Nurse for Halloween. >:3 I'll have to keep that in mind.

So I wake up and drowsily look over to my clock and notice that it's 8:30. At this point I put together that musical practice is at 9... And it's 8:30... I proceed to have an 'omfg' spasm as I roll my ass out of bed. I go out to the living room and give a glance at the clock in there to confirm that, yes, it's 8:30. My mother's sleeping, my grandmother nowhere in sight, and my papap in the kitchen with a towel around his waist. After a short debate in my head of what to do, I ask my papap if he'd be clothed by 8:55. He then tells me that he's going to be and that I don't need to be going to the school at this time (at this point I'm giving him a look of horror)...And then tells me that it's 8:30 at night. I just kinda walked away at that point.

-facedesk- That's what I get for going to bed at 5.

Soo... Let's see, how has this day gone? Well, I'm sure as you've noticed, I'm quite a journal whore. Well, we'll start out with yesterday. The video for German came out well and everything, which is very pleasing. What else... Okay, we'll just go on to today.
